La vida de Dios en el alma del hombre fue escrito en el siglo XVII, por el ministro escocés Henry Scougal. Es una larga carta, escrita a un amigo que había perdido la fe. En consecuencia, la vida de Dios en el alma del hombre es de apoyo, y su tono es de amistad y amor, denotando una verdadera pasión en la obra de Scougal. Al ser una carta, La vida de Dios en el alma del hombre es algo corta. Se divide en tres partes. En la primera parte, Scougal ofrece una investigación enormemente instructiva de la verdadera naturaleza de la religión. Él se dirige a varias concepciones pobres a cerca de Dios y la religión antes de pasar a la verdadera religión-- "la vida de Dios en el Hijo del Hombre." En la segunda parte, explica los beneficios de la verdadera religión. Él se centra en la "excelencia del amor divino." El amor de Dios, enfatiza, ¡es un gran amor, que vale la pena tener! Sin embargo, en la tercera parte, Scougal reconoce las dificultades para seguir a Dios. Por lo tanto, el fomenta la dependencia de la ayuda divina, y la contemplación de la escritura en el desarrollo de una vida santa. Aunque la escritura es un poco anticuada, la vida de Dios en el alma del hombre es un viaje a través de la sabiduría espiritual, que ha servido a innumerables caminantes espirituales.

Life of God in the Soul of Man was written by seventeenth century, Scottish minister Henry Scougal. It is a long letter, written to a friend who had lost the faith. Consequently, Life of God in the Soul of Man is supportive, and its tone is one of friendship and love, betraying a true passion in Scougal's work. - Tim Perrine, CCEL Staff Writer EXCERPT (Preface, The Life of God in the Soul of Man) THERE are books which never grow old: and this precious little volume, by HENRY SCOUGAL, is to be numbered among them. In it is an eternal freshness and beauty, its bloom actually brightening with advancing time. These words, for two centuries, have been bread of life to thousands. They have, through that long period, guided, comforted, and inspired; from that fact, they possess additional interest, for they have stood the severest test, and been found adequate to meet the deepest wants of human nature in its most trying needs. This "Life of God in the Soul of Man" has something of that divine life within itself which can impart of its own fulness to every soul ready to receive. The very breath of Jehovah may be felt through it. It kindles in the soul a sympathetic power, and lifts it into connection with higher realms. With its holy fervor there is blended a natural calmness. Health and healing are in its influence. Practical throughout, there is also a heavenly spirituality. Rising above all narrow limitations, the devout of every name may hold it in reverence, and cherish its counsels with gratitude and love. To the young, it will prove, armor of strength; to the aged, perpetual renovation; while Christians of all communions will find within it a foretaste of immortality. The life to which it would lead is a heaven upon earth, and that is but the commencement of a heaven without end. To all who hold in honor Christ and his gospel, to those who would love God and man, to each one who would so live in time as to make it the joyous gateway to a glorious eternity, this little volume should be heartily welcome; and we doubt not such welcome it will widely receive.

'The Life of God In The Soul of Man' was originally written as a private letter to a 'dear' friend, to explain Christianity. It was never intended for publication. Yet it has become a classic Puritan text and one of the most read and influential treatises ever written for the comfort of God's saints. Henry Scougal was born in 1650 and lived only 27 years, when he died of tuberculosis. Just before his death in 1677, Scougal allowed the private communication to his friend to be published.Nearly 70 years later, George Whitefield 'decided' to live a life of obedience and self denial to obtain the approval of God and assurance of salvation. To deny himself he quit the only thing he enjoyed, the Oxford 'Holy Club' where he was acquainted with John and Charles Wesley. In the spring of 1735, at the age of 20, they handed Whitefield this book 'The Life of God In The Soul of Man.' Whitefield said, "I reallywanted to know God and be assured of salvation, but even strict discipline didn't seem to help. God Showed me (in Scougal's writings) that I must be born again."The rest is history. The brief life of a young Christian, whose only 'work' was a letter to a friend, was used profoundly in the seeding of the great awakening in America. Scougal wrote that Christianity is not about external duties to perform, nor is it an emotion or feeling one has. He defines true religion as the union of the soul with God, a partaker of the divine nature, or in the apostle's words, "Christ in you, thehope of glory."
